I was dizzy and had to listen to Yisha. I asked,"Then am I a human or a ghost?"”Oh my god, I didn't do anything wrong. Why was I kicked out of the human world? Sad. Suddenly, Yisha asked me,"Then you were still in the world before you came here. Tell me about the world.”I said,"The world refers to a certain boundary or domain. Compared to us, the human world is the overall space that humans rely on to survive, which is the space domain formed by the earth, the sun, the moon, and so on. Although we humans live on the surface of the earth, we still need sunlight to provide heat. The plants and animals that provide us with food also need solar heat to grow. It could be said that without the illumination of the sun's heat energy, there would be no human beings and other animals and plants on Earth. This was the broad meaning of the human world. In a narrow sense, it referred to the entire human society. This was because human beings were always active in the world of human society, and this world was a world that connected people with thousands of relationships, such as economic, political, interpersonal, and inner kinship.
For a person, the physiological structure in his body was a world that completed a human body's physiological metabolism cycle. The entire mental activity inside him was the spiritual world. The combination of the two was what the ancient philosophers of the Celestial Empire believed to be the " man-made small universe ".
In terms of the natural world, the world was basically the kind that the founder of Buddhism, Sakyamuni, believed. His domain with the sun as the center was a world, 1,000 such worlds were small chiliocosms, 1,000 small chiliocosms were medium chiliocosms, and 1,000 medium chiliocosms were large worlds. However, from a broad perspective, this Greater World should be the universe.
On Earth alone, there were all kinds of worlds, such as the digital world, the physical world, the animal world, the ocean world, the plant world, and so on. These were all worlds with relatively narrow content.
Therefore, the concept of the world actually existed: There was a difference between being regulated and not being regulated. The regulated worlds were all kinds of worlds with relatively small content, such as the animal world, the human world, and so on. A world without rules referred to the entire universe. In the world that was set up, the word 'world' generally referred to our human society. In the human world, equality, freedom, democracy, and the rule of law were the essence and foundation of human society. A society that did not meet this basic standard was still a barbaric society with animal-like characteristics, which was the animal-like world. Because the animal world was a world where only perceptual thinking and survival of the fittest was the law of the world. On the other hand, human society was a world that was based on rational thinking. equality, freedom, democracy, and the rule of law were the results and defined concepts of human society formed under rational thinking.
When a world or thing was regulated by something, the scope of the regulation was the nature and attribute of this world or thing. For example, the category of evil referred to all the thoughts and behaviors that encroached on the rights of others and the public.
In a sense, knowing the world was the prerequisite for knowing oneself. To understand oneself, one must first understand the world. This was a problem of positioning. Without a sense of direction, one would not be able to clearly understand their true self. This was also a matter of a person's fundamental view of the world. Buddhism's way of comprehending the truth of the universe and life was to fundamentally reverse this direction, which was to start from the understanding of one's own individual life. This was also the fundamental reason why Buddhism could not achieve good results in philosophy. Because individuals were only a small part of the world as a whole, ignoring the whole and society would also ignore the environmental basis on which individuals existed. This was the fundamental nature of the social system that determined whether a society was righteous or evil. In an evil society, how an individual kept himself clean was only an individual, not the entire world. In fact, this kind of thinking and behavior of Buddhism was actually an escape from reality.
